released on 18 02 11

general

• now with crack.exe (replacing uninstall.exe). run once! (as you do..)
• no more registration of .v4p filetype on starting vvvv.exe. now only via crack!
• splashscreen now shows up when starting patch via doubleclick
• subtype and iobox bug fixes
• especially enum bugs. additionally enum features: invalid enum entries now lead to red nodes. useful e.g. when you have a r (Value) to a channel that doesn't exist (e.g. the patch with the corrsponding sender might not be open)
• effect enums now update correctly when code changed
• added vvvv.exe.config file to support debugging sd4/vs2010.
• fixed the EStringError when starting without arguments out of sd3.
• no accidental root saving any longer
• better help on using contributions in root
• modules again open in a window when opened by windows explorer
• correctly getting dummy node after changing nodename of a plugin node
• replacing nodes also changes legacy "nodename" attribute in "node" tag beta25-iobox-(color)-opens-as-iobox-(value-advanced)-in-older-versions
• it should no longer be a problem to work with projects of same filename but in different locations. for example (vvvv/effects/file1.fx and patches/foo/bar/file1.fx).
• if a cached nodeinfo is invalid (for example file is corrupted) a red node will appear instead of a gray one without any pins.
• GUI plugin templates added
• nice help files for templates added
• vvvv shouldn't block windows from shutting down if started with /shutup argument or no patch is edited or user doesn't chancel the quit command: vvvv-prevents-windows-shutting-down-(stillagain)
• .csproj now available in "OpenInPatch" dialog
• dtd updated

GUI

Finder & Window Switcher

• fixed serveral memory leaks
• other bug fixes
• invalid enum entries now also can be found through the finder: the surrounding patch also gets red.

NodeBrowser

• now includes username-tags again
• clicking in a patch to hide the browser now creates a comment
• drag'n'drop works again from standalone version

ProjectExplorer

• the Add Reference dialog of C# projects can now browse for assemblies (additional to selecting assemblies from the GAC)
• now supports adding existing documents to a project.
• should give a hint if a referenced file is missing.
• caused vvvv to crash if more than one reference was added at once.

CodeEditor

• fixed copy and paste issues introduced in beta25
• Ctrl+F invokes correct find-monolog again
• indents brackets correctly.
• supports auto indentation (Ctrl + I).
• does not show runtime errors of previously compiled assembly.
• handles local/global ("" vs <>) includes in .fx files correctly.
• effect files use directory of vvvv.exe as global include path (for e.g. #include <effects/foo.fxh>).
• only locally referenced fx files are copied in a clone operation.
• fixed several memory leaks

PatchEditor

• while making a connection in a patch space+rightclick simulates a middleclick
• scroll position is respected on drag drop again
• undoing replaced nodes works again undo-(ctrl+z)-and-exchanged-nodes
• patches now load with black background if so saved

fixed nodes

• Random (Value) is more random now between multiple instances
• NodeList (VVVV) better performance when adding a search path
• Sift (Value) fixed memory leak. Seehttp://vvvv.org/forum/sift-memory-leak.
• IOBox (String): fixed drag'n drop on it.
• IOBox (String): fixed "very long iobox" issue after drag drop. see beta25-dragdrop-a-path-from-explorer-adress-bar-to-io-(string)-bug.
• Cons (EX9.Texture) fixed, see spreaded-filetexture-and-cons-node-bug-in-beta25
• SharedMemory (Windows) output now returns complete string
• CreateNode (VVVV): QuerySave bug fix
• Count (EX9.Geometry): now updates if any of the upstream subsets changed
• BoundingBox (EX9.Geometry): can now deal with meshes that have more subsets than attributetable entries.

plugininterface

• fix: generic input pin didn't fetch new upstream interface if upstream node was recompiled.
• added BinSize property to InputAttribute.
• if creation of a plugin fails treat it as runtime error instead of creating a red node indicating that the plugin is missing.
• do not use MEF to scan an assembly for plugins. use it only on plugin creation. better performance and fixes several issues, if for example classes attributed with a PluginInfo didn't implement IPluginBase or a PluginInfo was defined twice.
• IDiffSpread<ISpread<T>> implementations didn't fire changed event if bin size changed.
• added new extension methods Add, AddRange, Remove, RemoveAt, RemoveAll, RemoveRange, GetRange, IndexOf, Insert, InsertRange to ISpread<T>.

new modules

• OpenURL (Network) opens a link or file with the systems default application
